Phone Number

Clean up user-entered phone numbers so that they can be sent SMS messages.

The North American Numbering Plan (NANP) is a telephone numbering system used by many countries in North America like the United States, Canada or Bermuda. All NANP-countries share the same international country code: 1.

NANP numbers are ten-digit numbers consisting of a three-digit Numbering Plan Area code, commonly known as area code, followed by a seven-digit local number. The first three digits of the local number represent the exchange code, followed by the unique four-digit number which is the subscriber number.

where N is any digit from 2 through 9 and X is any digit from 0 through 9.

Your task is to clean up differently formatted telephone numbers by removing punctuation and the country code (1) if present.

For example, the inputs

+1 (613)-995-0253

613-995-0253

1 613 995 0253

613.995.0253

should all produce the output

6139950253

Note: As this exercise only deals with telephone numbers used in NANP-countries, only 1 is considered a valid country code.
